So, for the last few years i have been accustomed to the corporate world, and for an interview being in a suit. However, with the economy being what it is, I am looking for any work I can, and as such may be moving to the retail sector, with an interview tomorrow.

But here is the thing - is it over-dressing to still show up in a full suit? Or should i just leave the coat, and stick with button shirt, tie, and slacks? I know how important first impressions are, so I would rather not botch this up (especially given how dire my current financial conditions are).
